Spain’s team spirits were tarnished even preceding the World Cup,
since a majority of players contradicted with the dated tactics and
managerial style of now former head coach Jorge Vilda despite their
1-0 victory over England. Following this achievement however, in
what is now seen as one of the most diabolical and laughable acts of
recent memory, President Luis Rubiales kissed player Jenni Hermioso.
The former president claims that the kiss was ‘mutual and with
consent’, which fueled numerous weeks of infuriated and enraged fans
around the globe as many were united in to bring about the
resignation and leaving his position untenable due to heavy
criticism.
Exasperated, Jenni Hermioso took to social media in a now deleted Instagram video response stating that the 33-year old felt ‘vulnerable’ and a ‘victim of aggression’, and slated the RFEF for manipulating and forcing certain players to choose sides which has caused two players to vacate the national team for ‘personal reasons.’ The RFEF prior to this pleaded UEFA to suspend Spanish teams which include global giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid to provoke fans and save Rubiales’ job.

high-ranking positions including all 19 of the Spanish regional
presidents requested Rubiales to resign with surmounting pressure
while offering unanimous support for interim president Pedro Rocha.

A lawyer by the name Paloma Torres said to CNN ‘We are all very angry at this because all women have suffered some kind of abuse’. The 29-year old had unwavering backing towards Jenni Hemioso and is an advocate for women abuse and sexual assault globally.
